D#            A#
You look so defeated,
        G#                           Cm A# G#
lying there in your new twin sized bed
With a single pillow underneath your single head
I guess you decided that that old queen
Was more space than you would need
Now it's in the alley behind your apartment
With a sign that says "It's free"

Chorus:
       Fm                 G#m               D# A# G#
But I hope you have more luck with this than me

You used to think that someone would come along
And lay beside you in a space that they belong
But the other side of the mattress
and box springs stayed like new
What's the point of holding onto
what never gets used?

Chorus:
Other than a sick desire for self-abuse

      D#/G       G#                Cm           D#
And I try not to worry, but you've got me terrified
     D#/G                        Cm7
It's like you're in some kind of hurry
           Fm           G# G#m         D# A# G#
To say goodbye, say goodbye, say goodbye

You look so defeated,
lying there in your new twin size bed
You look so defeated,
lying there in your new twin size bed
